The phrase "vapid oval office" is used incredibly frequently in GBS to describe non-goon individuals who are featured in goon-written stories.

[...]

Not only is "vapid oval office" almost always used incorrently on SA, it is also used so much that it is approaching catchphrase status.

[Where be the milk up this piece, son? is an] Ancient catchphrase based on one goon's experience with having his wigger brother's wigger friends show up en masse one day. According to the goon, one of the wiggers stuck his head in the fridge, pulled it back out and uttered the phrase. Occasionally brought up in other threads involving wiggers, though it's fallen by the wayside nowadays.

Posters often awarded other posters in the form of golden manbabies for particularly amusing threads. They would write "you sir get five golden manbabies!" which meant that they really liked their post (since the "five" referred to the best rating you could give a thread, and a golden manbaby was naturally better than a regular manbaby). Yes, it's very stupid.

A lot of goons seem to believe that 4chan is composed entirely of 13-year-old internet nerds who jerk it non-stop to hentai. While these people do make up a portion of the userbase, in truth, most visitors of 4chan are around the same age group as the visitors to the Something Awful Forums.

4chan has a very different community from SA. Many of the goons who don't like that style of community tend to rag on it ("they're all 13 year old retards") whenever 4chan is brought up. Then, goons who have never been to 4chan get a preconceived notion that 4chan is composed entirely of 13-year-old retards. Then, to fit in, they spread it around and the whole thing grows to become widely believed even though it's not true.

Many seperate channels make up 4chan, while /b/ is by far the most popular. Examples of a few other channels are /a/ (Anime & Manga), /g/ (Technology), /k/ (Weapons), /mu/ (Music), and a dozen pornography channels. Most of the channels are very loosely moderated and each have their own rules. /b/ is the no-rules board :cool:

In response to the above entry, 4chan just isn't for everyone. Some people enjoy the completely batshit insane "discussion" that goes on in /b/ while others revile it. Please stop giving 4chan a poor light simply because you don't enjoy the way /b/tards conduct their "discussions."

quote:

Hey, hijack that Taxi.

Posted by Balzac on February 12, 2004

A catchphrase that was popular for all of two days on the Game forum back in September of 2002.

Someone posted an anecdote about them playing Grand Theft Auto 3 for the first time. While playing, a friend who was watching him non chalantly said "Hey, hijack that taxi". People started using the term as a parody of popular catchphrases and people were often interrupting threads with shouts of HEY HIJACK THAT TAXI! including a few photoshops. It wasn't long before quirex (or at least I think it was him) started to get pissed and edit people's posts for using said phrase.

Posted by Shumagorath on April 13, 2004

Clarification:

This phrase was uttered by a goon's little brother as said goon was loading up a brand new game of GTA3. The twist is that it was a brand-new game because the little brother had just erased a GTA3 save on that particular memory card to play some retarded poo poo like Tony Hawk, and the goon was stuck there seething with rage for the hours upon hours of progress lost.

Scorpion

Scorpion is a white trash graphic design hack who defrauds his clients by exaggerating his hours.

He admitted to it in a FYAD thread recently and forums poster Rorschach left a message on the machine of a potential client of his telling him that he's a known liar and cheat. Rorschach also gave them the names of two more talented graphic designers that would do the work for far less than Scorpion was charging.

He hasn't posted in the thread since and has frantically edited out all his posts admitting that he defrauds his clients.

Posted by Scorpion on February 24, 2005

In actuality Scorpion makes around $40,000 a year and lives semi-comfortably in the Orange County area. He does not scam his clients. It is assumed that the white trash rumor came from the nature of the photo he posted of himself – which in actuality was taken in Canada, not in his sunny Southern California home of Irvine.

The FYAD thread posts made by Scorpion were made to excite FYAD fourm posters. Scorpion enters gimmick-mode once in thread.

Outside of FYAD he regularly posts in Games, GBS, SH&SC, and D&D

Scorpion has always been straight, and since FYAD is so interested in his earnings, they will be glad to know that as of March 21st, 2006, he will be earning $64,300 a year.

Posted by pantsfish on March 11, 2006

The humanitarian that he is, Scorpion has decided to donate almost all of his annual $64,300 to a local fat camp. He was quoted to say "it obviously didn't work for me, so I'm giving them the facilities to do a better job."

Along with a small stipend in McDonald's gift cards, his only other request for the donation was unlimited access to the camp's computer lab, where he can aggressively defend his Internet reputation when not designing ugly fliers for the local chili cookoff.

Posted by Prodigal Sun on April 13, 2006

Scorpion is an internationally renowned longstanding FYAD poster whose occupation pays well over $100,000 a year (excluding benefits) and consists of checking the SAclopedia nightly for any updates to his own personal SAclopedia entry and concocting witty rebuttals. If at any given time Scorpion is found to not be actively monitoring his SAclopedia entry, please report the information to radium so that he may take advantage of the extra available bandwidth.

Scorpion supports the euthenization of homosexuals as well as the handicapped. Also he likes boys.

Posted by McPaine on May 5, 2006

I will attempt to remain completely unbiased in this entry, despite any personal feelings I may have towards Scorpion.

Most of the up-to-date information regarding Scorpion can be found in this thread:
http://forums.somethingawful.com/sh...40&pagenumber=1

The thread was started when Scorpion posted an E/N thread in FYAD detailing an encounter he had with a young woman. He commented on how he had conversed with a woman who had made overtures towards him, but he had failed to get her phone number to continue to get to know her.

What followed was a common reaction whenever Scorpion chooses to post in FYAD, filled with off-the-cuff insults and inquiries into his sexual orientation. Scorpion proceeded to put on a visage of nonchalance in regards to the flaming, continuing with his long-held tradition of claiming any posts he makes in FYAD are solely an attempt to rile up the posters there.

As information was dredged up from Scorpion's past* and the flames became more and more derisive, Scorpion changed his tactics from appearing apathetic to outright retreat. He proceeded to edit all of his posts to "waffles!", despite the fact that he is quoted within 3 lines of every one of his postings by another forum member, rendering any attempt at censorship moot. There was also a link posted to his personal journal (http://proteus8898.livejournal.com) that was taken down by Scorpion soon after the link was posted.

This was interspersed with his various postings in the space above, which he also appears to be distancing himself from. All of the editing and subsequent posts under his SAlopedia entries are a direct result of his fear that Pantsfish would follow through with his threat to report him for abusing SAclopedia. Scorpion failed to realize that the poster in question has no ability to flag posts at all, adding to the overall spectacle of the meltdown.


*This information includes his quote that homosexual babies, like fetuses with Down Syndrome and other genetic disorders, should be allowed to be aborted before birth as genetic profiling becomes more exact and prevalent. It also includes the oft posted picture of a moderately overweight individual (http://i.somethingawful.com/mjolnir...h~Scorpion2.jpg) that is commonly help to be Scorpion, and information regarding less than ethical practices involving his business.

Posted by Marxux on May 5, 2006

Here's a nice little quote from Scorpion that sums him up as a person:

I'll say this: If I was bullied like that, and had access to the guns I have here now, I would loving blow thier heads off. Of course, I would be smart and use my M4 Suppressed with a scope and do it from about a mile away.

I was bullied, but durring that time I grew 7 inches and gained 50lbs. The next time I was bullied, I threw a guy into a river (it was a slow-moving one). No one messed with me ever again.

Posted by Scorpion on May 13, 2006

I can confirm that my posts and comments in FYAD are in no way indicative of my behavior or beliefs in the rest of the forums or in real life.

Posted by Indian War Chief on June 6, 2006

As of this writing, Scorpion has posted six updates to the SAclopedia entry about himself.

Posted by Casao on June 25, 2006

Wes Butan has since changed his moniker from the enigmatically magnanimous "Gaius Baltar" back to the tragically quagmired "Scorpion." Whether he did this as an act of backpedal panic shortly after it was made common knowledge via the SAclopedia is anyone's guess, although the answer is yes.

Myth: As a Graphic Designer, Scorpion overcharged clients for services.

Truth: I charged for services based on the budget and locale of my clients. During the real-estate boom, I charged agents and mortgage brokers more, and those just starting a business less. Most of the clients were in Newport Beach and Irvine, CA, the going rate for designers in the area at the time of all of FYAD’s internet detective work (2002) was around $100-$150 per hour.

-----------------------------

Myth: As a Graphic Designer, Scorpion used free clipart when designing.

Truth: From 2001-2002 I utilized a several sets of clip art books. This was my first Graphic Design job that wasn’t strictly boring web stuff (Intel). It was a copy shop and I worked in the back office doing design and running a HP2800. I was paid $13 per hour, and was supplied these books to show customers. At times I would recolor or modify the artwork. Never were the customers unaware that this was pre-made art. I did not care much for this job but it was the only design work I was doing, so in the 2002 Portfolio (the one leaked on Something Awful), there were a few items that indeed contained clipart and college work.

-----------------------------

Myth: The leaked portfolio and photo of Scorpion is recent and indicative of his current abilities/attitudes.

Truth: The leaked portfolio (the one with the blue background, clipart, school work, ‘guru’) is from 2002 and not representative of my previous design work in 2008.

-----------------------------

Myth: Scorpion seriously tried to convince people he makes six figures per year.

Truth: If I made 6 figures I certainly wouldn’t be driving a 350Z and living in a 1-bedroom apartment. I made this assertion in FYAD to rile up trolls, which was amusing at the time.

-----------------------------

Myth: Scorpion once pushed a bully into a creek when in 6th grade.

Truth: Yes, I described this creek as a ‘slow moving river’. I had a fight with a kid while in middle school. Hilarious.

-----------------------------

Posted by Scorpion on November 23, 2008

I don't care at all if FYAD makes fun of my 2002 portfolio or other threads, but when they start trolling in serious threads in other forums it's pretty pathetic.
